Event Navigation
C’mon out to the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge (GSNWR) and feast your eyes on the beautiful colors of summer. This is your chance for a behind-the-scenes guided hike with GSWA’s Director of Water Quality Programs, Sandra LaVigne. As we explore the Bluebird Trail, we will be on the lookout for summer flowers, birds, wildlife – all in a pristine setting not typically open to the public.
IMPORTANT CHANGE – Colors of Summer Hike. Because of a gate issue, we have changed the parking/meeting place for Colors of Summer Hike at 6:00 pm. Please go to the GSNWR Fenske Visitor Center. Direction Note: Google tries to take you to 32 Pleasant Plains Rd, Basking Ridge but it is best to approach it by Wood Duck Way. The gates at either end of Pleasant Plains Rd will be closed at 4:30. You need to approach it by Wood Duck Way.
Meeting location: GSNWR Bluebird Parking Lot on Pleasant Plains Road, approx. 0.5 miles north of the refuge’s south gate, and 1.6 miles south of the Helen C. Fenske Visitor Center – New Vernon, NJ 07976
